SuperFOIL SFBA MP Multipurpose Bubble Foil Insulation – Reflective Insulation Solution

SuperFOIL SFBA MP is a lightweight, reflective bubble foil insulation designed for a wide range of building, renovation, and general-purpose insulation applications. Manufactured using durable aluminium metallised PET layers combined with integrated air bubbles, SFBA MP provides an effective radiant barrier and vapour control layer in a slim, flexible format.

SFBA MP is the core product from which SuperFOIL Multipurpose Wraps are produced. Multipurpose Wraps are supplied as pre-cut or alternative-sized formats derived from SFBA MP to suit DIY and smaller-scale insulation applications.

SFBA MP is suitable for roofs, walls, and floors, as well as garages, sheds, garden buildings, campervans, and other non-structural insulation uses.

This is a vapour-closed bubble foil insulation designed for internal applications where reflective thermal performance and moisture control are required.

For reflective systems such as SuperFOIL SFBA MP, internal comparative assessments indicate that when installed with air spaces on both sides, the system can provide thermal performance broadly comparable to approximately 50 mm of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or 30 mm of extruded polystyrene (XPS) under typical installation conditions. Due to differences in installation methods, air gap configuration, and overall construction design, these comparisons are provided for indicative comparison purposes only.

Exact thermal performance must always be verified using the certified R-Values of the product and, where required, project-specific calculations.

Product Dimensions & Coverage

• Thickness: 3 mm

• Length: 25 m

• Width: 1.5 m

• Coverage: up to 37.5 m² per roll

3-in-1 Reflective Insulation Design

SuperFOIL SFBA MP combines two essential functions in one product:

• Reflective radiant barrier that reflects up to 97% of radiant heat

• Vapour control layer that helps reduce condensation risk

This simple but effective construction makes SFBA MP ideal as a standalone reflective insulation layer or as a supplementary insulation solution alongside other insulation materials.

Thermal Performance

SFBA MP reduces heat transfer primarily through radiant heat reflection, and when installed with adjacent air spaces, provides certified thermal performance.

Certified thermal performance (core value + air spaces, EN 16012):

• Core R-Value: 0.12 m²K/W

• Roof (incl. air spaces): 1.03 m²K/W

• Wall (incl. air spaces): 1.45 m²K/W

• Floor (incl. air spaces): 1.65 m²K/W

• Emittance: 0.05

What does R-Value mean?

R-Value (m²K/W) measures a material’s resistance to heat flow.
The higher the R-Value, the better the insulation performance.

What does Emittance mean?

Emittance measures how much heat a surface emits (radiates).

A low emittance value (typically around 0.05) means very low heat emission and high reflection of radiant heat, improving overall thermal performance when installed with adjacent air spaces.

This interpretation is aligned with EN 16012 and reflects how reflective multifoil insulation performance is evaluated across EU technical documentation.

Performance vs Traditional Insulation

Unlike bulky traditional insulation materials, SuperFOIL SFBA MP delivers thermal benefits through reflective technology rather than mass, making it particularly effective where space is limited.

It is commonly used as:

• A supplementary insulation layer

• A retrofit upgrade

• A reflective barrier to improve overall system performance

Exact thermal performance depends on the complete build-up and air space configuration.

Key Benefits

• Reflects up to 97% of radiant heat

• Ultra-thin and lightweight construction

• Easy to cut, handle, and install

• No specialist tools required

• Waterproof and corrosion-resistant

• Suitable for trade and DIY use

• Ideal as a supplement to existing insulation

• Durable construction with a 50+ year service life

• Made using up to 40% recycled materials

Applications

SuperFOIL SFBA MP is suitable for use in:

• Roofs, walls, and floors

• Garages and sheds

• Garden buildings and outbuildings

• Campervans and caravans

• Radiator backing

• General-purpose insulation and reflective barrier applications

It is typically installed internally and used to improve thermal comfort and reduce radiant heat transfer.

Fire & Safety Performance

• Reflective foil insulation designed for non-structural applications

• Not classified as non-combustible

• Suitable for domestic, commercial, and DIY environments when installed correctly

SFBA MP – Quality & Certification

• Manufactured under a certified ISO 9001:2015 quality management system

• CE certified to EN 13984:2013 for vapour control performance

• Tested to meet current UK and EU building regulations when installed correctly

• Designed, tested, and supported by SuperFOIL technical specialists
